Cupcakes!

I'm graduating from school in a month and my brother's girlfriend is graduating too, so we decided to have a joint graduation party. I'm going to be a practical nurse and my brother's girlfriend is going to be a daycare nurse! We've started planning our graduation already and what we should serve there. One thing we decided instantly was cupcakes. It's sort of our thing, cupcakes, and we made a sample batch last weekend! Here's how they turned out:


 
The icing is a bit off but it was our first try, and as the graduation party is only for our closest friends and family, it's not gonna bother us that much if the icing is not perfect. :)
I'll post the recipe later when I get it from the source!

Simple yet tasty

I wanted to make something easy, something I could take with me to work and decided to make a swiss roll with apple sauce.

Recipe:
4 eggs
2dl sugar
1dl potato flour
1dl wheat flour
1ts baking powder

Preheat the oven to 225°C. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl until thick and creamy. Sift the baking powder with the flours and fold in. Pour into the oven tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for  5-10 minutes.
When the cake is cooked, turn it on to a large sheet of greaseproof paper dusted with sugar. Peel off the lining paper. Spread jam/berries/anything you want on the cake and roll up tightly.
